Fantastic performance by Al Jarreau! I'm so happy to be able to see him performing live 2 times in Minsk, Belarus. RIP Mr. Jarreau. Your music is always with us
Heard these guys in Oslo at the same tour. Warming up was David Sanborn Band. What a blast! I will never forget!! It snowed cows and horses and the band bus snowed down. The promotor, Blue Johnson (RIP) sent me Pictures of it.
I watched this back in 85 with some friends........and a lot of beers. David Sanborns bassplayer blew our minds. Two days later, I bought my first bass. Thanks for posting this. I`m on a trip down " Memory Lane " right now.
I saw this Rockpalast concert in 1985 on television. I was looking because Prince, the main act was playing after Al Jarreau. After seen Al, the concert of Prince was far less " swinging" ( how much i do like Prince, that night Al Jarreau was the better concert) I record all on cassette tape, since I have no player anymore, I am very pleased to see the whole concert now on RUclips :)
Prince was broadcast live via satellite from Syracuse. There were serious technical problems and most of it was broadcast in mono at the time. Still a brilliant concert too. Widely available on youtube etc. Great 20 min rendition of Purple Rain. Before Al Jarreau was Paul Young who was not bad at all, but not in the league of Al Jarreau nor Prince IMHO. RIP Al Jarreau. I hope you live up to your "I will be there for you" in music heaven.
So did I - but when I moved the cassette was left somewhere ... ;) Anyway great to see all this here on RUclips so thanks a lot to MrMartinfg for posting this.
@@LisaGemini Yes, he had the competence for communication with the audience that create a situation you have while your talking with good friends. I have seen some of these concerts of him with such moments. We all had the feeling the stage is his living room and we visit him there as good friends. And if you think it over, in real it was that situation! So much positive power! Have you ever seen a concert from Earth, Wind & Fire? After that you are one month on a constant power drive without any drugs! They pump you up with positive power! This is the reason, the "system" don' t let us to normal concerts, not the health reason! They abuse Corona to keep us away from positive power and to destroy it as much as they can.
The audience at that concert were very privileged to see such a unique talent with a red hot band and the great David Sanborn , Al Jarreau will be greatly missed. Many thanks to whoever did the posting.
Al & Dave toured together because they were both on Warner Brothers. Caught them together at the Garden State Arts Center. Not only was Boby Lyle on keys, Nathan East was on bass. An unforgettable night.
Gotta love this, sooo eighties, brings back memories of Miami Vice, Miles Davis dressing like Michael Jackson, Yamaha DX7, Roland drum pads etc. Living in the Netherlands being able to watch the Rockpalast series was a real treat. A wide variety of music was featured at the time. Another one of those was the Steve Miller Band. Definitely not Mike Stern on guitar but some other stars like Alex Acuna (Koinonia!) on drums. Personnel listed in comments below.
I met Mike Stern at a little club (Horsefeathers) in Portland, ME in the early 80’s when he played with Tiger Okoshi’s band “Tiger’s Baku” with Gerry Etkins, Tim Landers, and Robbie Gonzales … great times!
Rockpalast was Ai´s second gig that night... before he played in Düsseldorf and I had the privilege to listen to.. what a great band... what a raw model of a r&b singer...
I wholeheartedly agree💖💞💕 with Denis! And I've played together with wonderful Malando Gassama (percussion, drums; deceased). All of this, such an undescribeble joy and heartlift!💖💞💕
So it's: Al Jarreau - extreme singing Charles Icarus Johnson - guitar Michael Paulo - flute, saxophone Bobby Lyle - keyboard Alex Acuna - drums Malando Gassama - percussion Jim Studer - keyboards
Me too ;) Ricky Lawson also played the concert in London on the same tour, which was recorded for the live record "Al Jarreau live in London". This one is also on RUclips.
How is that Mike Stern? That is Charles Johnson. Michael Paulo is amazing sax player. Talk about underrated. Bobby Lyle - great orchestration. He is the musical director.
Does anyone know the story with Charles "Icarus" Johnson? As you can see here, he is one hell of a guitarist and was a first choice for George Duke which should tell you something, I read that he just stopped playing? Why would someone so talented do that unless there was a physical/medical reason? I saw Al in London during his prime with a similar band but Hiram Bullock (RIP) on guitar who is one of the greatest guitarists too, sadly not with us due to bad health. RIP Al, truly one of the great voices, so many great songs and collaborations with Jay Graydon , Tom Canning and Larry Williams.
@@arctictfan3470 Thanks for the info, I think he'd be a lot more content playing music and staying away from politics. Computers are not good for the mind and soul but probably generate more money than playing music. Great to see legends like Herbie Hancock still playing well and clearly enjoying themselves. Music is an amazing talent to be blessed with and ought to be shared.
@@got2bharmony When he played with Al he was payed on a yearly basis so he had lot of time om hands so thereby computers. He tricked the TV journalists Dan Rather to use false documents about George W Bush That he had made and destroyed Rathers career lol.
@@got2bharmony He also started a conservative website called Pyjamas news. I don't know why? . he is not conservative.now. I actually commented on his twitter tthat he should start playing again . He didn't answer.

... good lord ! 33 years ago, I was in the audience ! Brilliant Al Jarreau and David Sanborn .. I will never forget this ! Thanks for sharing !!
Heard these guys in Oslo at the same tour. Warming up was David Sanborn Band. What a blast! I will never forget!! It snowed cows and horses and the band bus snowed down. The promotor, Blue Johnson (RIP) sent me Pictures of it.
Was there too, what a performance!
This man is the GOAT I love and miss him and his music.
Absolutely!
He is unparalleled literally, one of a kind.
I saw this concert on German television in 1985 and since this evening I've been his biggest fan..... it kicked me out of my socks....RIP AL
Tears for such a magnificent talent that is gone way to soon!! Only one Al Jarreau! Rest in Heaven
I watched this back in 85 with some friends........and a lot of beers. David Sanborns bassplayer blew our minds. Two days later, I bought my first bass. Thanks for posting this. I`m on a trip down " Memory Lane " right now.
Who is playing bass?
La migliore band di Al jarreau di tutti tempi
Perfection

as far as I vaguely remember Prince wasn´t live on stage, it was a concert-film.
Prince was broadcast live via satellite from Syracuse. There were serious technical problems and most of it was broadcast in mono at the time. Still a brilliant concert too. Widely available on youtube etc. Great 20 min rendition of Purple Rain.

instablaster.
Wow, what a band with Al. Bobby Lyle on keys and Alex Acuna on drums.
What a guy....!!!!
I watched this live on tv. Those were the days with Rockpalast almost every weekend.
I remember this concert, it came from Finnish TV channel YLE 1985 one saturday evening. Great concert, one of the best I ever seen.
The best performance with duo Al and David, I'm fan them from Indonesia
Music comes from the soul, he's Soul of the Music 💙💙💙
I saw that concert live in Germany, Philpshalle Düsseldorf, it was pure power!
Wow, you were blessed. I saw Al in the '90s at Mahaffey Theater in St. Pete, FL. Good times! He cracked us up, talking about being off his meds!
@@LisaGemini Yes, he had the competence for communication with the audience

How is that Mike Stern? That is Charles Johnson. Michael Paulo is amazing sax player. Talk about underrated. Bobby Lyle - great orchestration. He is the musical director.
Is it just me or the mix from desk sound like its missing a channel?

Was ein Scheissmix, die Tontechniker kannste auf den Mond schiessen.

Terrible Mix. The Audioengineers are not worth a dime. Shame.
Too bad the mix sounds so terrible...
All incredible musicians…but dear God…the 80’s was just horrible. Terrible sound, music, clothes and hair. Ugh…and that dancing, cringe
Compared to what?...🤔
Whatever you do, mate, with that pretention, don't watch US television (non-PAL quality) from the 1960s or early 1970s!
50:52 Who else thinks this looks weird?
What's weird?
The mix is dreadful.
